Ling Fell and Sale Fell are the most northerly of the Wainwright Fells in the north western group.
Overlooking Embleton and Wythop Mill and with commanding views of Bassenthwaite, the Skiddaw fells and further afield to Criffel in Galloway, both hills make good viewpoints despite their diminutive size.
Ling Fell, so named because it is covered all around by Ling heather (Calluna vulgaris), is the more westerly and the slightly higher (373m) of the pair. It looks stunning in August with huge swathes of pink. Ling Fell is easily climbed from just above Wythop Mill where there is adequate parking.
